Abstract:
Palm sugar processing was one of the household industries that have been run for several years
by farmers in Rongga and Gunung Halu Districts. Generally, the business activities are very
simple. Farmers are using simple business calculation to run the activity, for example, they
usually do not calculate labor as a cost, so that they do not know if their activity profitable or not.
This study aimed to analyze the income earned from palm sugar processing and analyze the
added-value derived from palm sugar processing. Data were analyzed using income, added
value, and descriptive analysis. The results show that the total cost (TC) is greater than the total
revenue (TR): Rp 42,415> Rp 37,108. This means that palm sugar processing in Rongga and
Gunung Halu is not yet profitable. The added value of palm sugar processing is Rp 1,974, with
the ratio of added value 0.42 (0.42> 0). This positive added value ratio means that the process
has increased the value of the palm juice raw materials. Palm sugar processing could be
profitable and increase the socio-economic welfare of farmers if the business activity is managed
effectively and efficiently. |
